Solution

The correct option is C Endomitosis
Endomitosis involves the duplication of chromosomes without the division of nucleus. Endoreplication or endomitosis is a replication of the nuclear genome in the absence of cell division, which leads to elevated nuclear gene content and polyploidy. Endoreplication can be understood simply as a variant form of the mitotic cell cycle (G1-S-G2-M) in which mitosis is aborted prior to cytokinesis or circumvented entirely, due in part to modulation of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) activity.
So, the correct answer is option C.
